Start With Yourself by Emma Grede, framework 8 of 14

Zones of work

The Hendricks zones, used to decide what to do yourself and what to hand off.

Emma Grede's framework, from Start With Yourself, pp. 49 to 237.

  1. Zone of Genius

    What comes most naturally and what you may take for granted; focus here.

  2. Zone of Excellence

    What you are good at but is not the best use of your gifts; resist the siren song.

  3. Zone of Competence

    What you can do but should often outsource, such as daily decisions.

  4. Zone of Incompetence

    What you are useless at, such as financial models; let others take it and do not try to develop it.

From chapter: Part Three: Old Thoughts, pp. 49–237
